1.06 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

From the ancient dances of molten rock deep within the earth to the careful hands that revealed its brilliance, this yellowish green sapphire carries the story of Madagascar in every facet. Born where tectonic forces and time conspired to concentrate aluminum and trace elements, this gem emerged as a transparent beacon, a 1.06 carat round shape sapphire with dimensions of 5.90 x 5.91 x 3.88 millimeters. Its mixed brilliant cut was chosen to honor both fire and tone, balancing an internal scintillation with a lively face up color that reads as a vivid, intense yellowish green. The stone is transparent, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem greets the eye with remarkable purity and only the subtlest hallmarks of its natural origin when examined closely. From the moment light touches its table, the gem announces itself, yet it retains the quiet dignity of a treasure formed over millennia.

The journey from rough crystal to polished jewel was guided by experienced hands and a reverence for the material, artisans who understood that the mixed brilliant cut would maximize both brilliance and color saturation. Each facet was shaped to exacting proportions to enhance the sapphire s optical performance, and the polish received an excellent grade, allowing light to travel, refract, and return with a clarity that feels almost conversational. The gem has been heat treated, a traditional enhancement that refines color and clarity in a stable and well understood manner, disclosed here in full. The result is a stone with intense color intensity, one that confidently holds its own under a variety of lighting conditions, while maintaining a luxurious depth when viewed in candlelight or soft evening glow. The balance of a round shape with mixed brilliant faceting creates a dynamic play between flash and depth, making the gem lively on the move and mesmerizing at rest.

Imagine this sapphire set in a wide range of jewelry, each setting revealing a different facet of its personality. In a solitaire ring, its compact 1.06 carat presence will read as focused and intentional, the round form drawing the eye to a single point of luminous color. Surrounded by a halo of white diamonds, the yellowish green will pop with contrast, the bright white accents amplifying its vividness. In a pendant, suspended from a fine chain, the gem will catch light with every step, showing both the lively scintillation from its mixed brilliant cut and the saturated face up hue that defines its character. Against warm yellow gold, the sapphire s yellow tones will feel amplified and sunlit, while set in cool white metals the green aspect will appear crisper and more jewel like. For a pair of stud earrings, matched partners would create dancing flashes of intense color near the face, a refined statement that reads both modern and timeless. The gem s size and proportions make it versatile, able to be the star of a bold design, or to lend a distinctive note to a more intricate piece.
